$ dpkg -l | grep binutils
ii  binutils       2.10.1.0.2-1   The GNU assembler, linker and binary utiliti
$ dpkg -l | grep gcc
ii  gcc            2.95.2-18      The GNU C compiler.

The exact error is:

make  -C posix subdir_lib
gcc ../sysdeps/unix/i386/fork.S -c /* lots of -I ommited */ D_LIBC_REENTRANT \
-include ../include/libc-symbols.h -DPIC -DSHARED   -DASSEMBLER  -DGAS_SYNTAX
\
-o fork.os
